Maybe I should stop contributing to Gmap, because whenever I try to remove fake location, So google never verify my edit.

That’s why I don’t want to contribute to GMAP.

Hello @rahulrw

The first link is not valid maybe your edit has been approved or someone else has edited. I believe the second one will be taken care of. Please give it time and let us know here what your findings are.

As regards contributions and getting them approved,you have to keep exercising and practising. I practically Contribute everyday. I love edits so much,as a result I have 99% of my edits approved pleaae don’t get discouraged OK. Happy guiding

Hi @rahulrw

Removing a business on the distance using my account is not ok. We should only make edits we personally know are correct. That is one part of keeping my trust score up.

Such data issues are better dealt with in the Maps support forum.

Hit the Community tab at the top and make a post.

You will need some evidence, but the volunteer experts will guide you on this.

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

Thank you for your response.

I have already personally visited this location as a local guide but the place is not available.

I thought I would get a solution from the Google community, but if they can’t help me remove the place, that’s fine.

Thank you for your support
